Funds in the Khilafah State (Al-Amwal fi Dowlat Al-Khilafah)

Abdul Qadeem Zallum

The book deals with funds in the Caliphate state and its rulings, clarifying its resources, types, who and what it is taken from, when it is due, how it is collected, and the entity in which it is held and protected. It also clarifies those who are entitled to it and the ways in which it is spent. Since controlling and collecting these funds requires knowledge of lengths, areas, measures, and weights, it addresses what is necessary of that, so that it is clear in every way, in a manner that clarifies its reality and removes ignorance about it. We have evaluated it with the lengths, areas, measures, and weights used today, so that it is easily accessible, far from complication, and close to understanding. Since the monetary aspect has a special importance in the funds in the Caliphate state, because it is linked to Sharia rulings, it presents it, clarifies its reality, the basis on which it was established, the units to which it is attributed, its weights, the problems it faces, and how to address these problems.

مقدمة / Introduction

Since Islam, which God sent with His Messenger Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, is a system for life and a message to the world, it was necessary for it to have a state to implement it and carry it to the world. Islam made this state a 'Caliphate state' and made it a distinctive form and a unique style, different from all forms of states in the world: in its pillars on which it is based, its apparatus that it consists of, its constitution, and its laws taken from the Book of God and the Sunnah of His Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, which the Caliph and the Ummah must adhere to, implement, and abide by its rulings; because it is from the law of God, and not from human legislation. Islam entrusted the Caliphate state to take care of the affairs of the Ummah, and entrusted it to manage the funds coming to the state, and spend them, so that it can take care of the Ummah and carry the Da'wah. The Sharia evidence has clarified the state's financial resources, their types, and how to collect them, as it has clarified those who are entitled to them and the directions of their expenditure.

خاتمة / Conclusion

To return to the gold standard, the reasons that led to abandoning it and the factors that led to its deterioration must be removed, i.e., the following must be done: 1 - Stop printing paper money. 2 - Return gold coins to circulation. 3 - Remove customs barriers from gold and remove all restrictions on its import and export. 4 - Remove restrictions on owning gold, possessing it, selling it, buying it, and dealing with it in contracts. 5 - Remove restrictions on owning the major currencies in the world, and make competition between them free, until they take a fixed price in relation to each other and in relation to gold, without the intervention of countries by devaluing or floating their currencies. When freedom is left to gold, it will have an open market in a short period of time, and therefore all international currencies will take a fixed exchange rate in relation to gold, and international dealings with gold will find its way into existence, where the values of contracts will be paid for goods whose value is estimated in gold. If these steps are taken by one strong country, its success will encourage other countries to follow it in that; which will lead to progress towards returning the gold standard to the world once again. And no state is more worthy than the Caliphate state to do that; because returning to the gold and silver standard is a Sharia ruling for it, and because the Caliphate state is responsible for the world with the responsibility of guidance and care.
